New method enables causal effect estimation in cyclic models

Researchers have developed a data-driven method for selecting covariates in causal effect estimation, which is crucial for accurately determining cause-and-effect relationships from observational data. This new approach extends existing techniques by proving their validity even in the presence of cyclic causal models, where feedback loops complicate analysis. The findings establish a unified perspective, showing that the covariate selection method works consistently across both cyclic and acyclic settings without needing modifications. AI
